Special Announcements
BURNT DISTRICT FESTIVAL: This Friday and Saturday, August 13th and 14th, is the 1st Annual Burnt District Festival on the Harrisonville square. There will be booths set up all around the square, and the Chamber of Commerce has asked us to host one with an inflatable bungee jump. Justin Sharp, who as our Outreach Team Leader is in charge of this activity, received a call from the Chamber in which they communicated that this festival is going to be a big event and that the bungee booth is one of the main attractions. Justin could use some workers for the booth, which will be open on Saturday only. There will be three shifts – one from 10:30-2:00, one from 1:30-5:00, and one from 4:30-7:30, with the overlap built in to train the next shift. He needs 5 people for each time slot. If you can help, please contact Justin at 316-215-1676 as soon as possible.
WELCOME HOME LEON! Leon Casey will be coming home this Saturday from his tour of duty in Iraq. If you would like to help welcome Leon home, at the high school at about noon there is going to be a yellow ribbon ceremony for their unit when they arrive in town from the airport.
BETH MOORE STUDY: Janelle Vignery will be starting another Beth Moore study on Thursday, September 2nd, at 6:30 p.m. here at Cornerstone. It is a study of the love of God from the book of Genesis. Through this study, you will encounter the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and you will take a look at the lives of real people whose stories are not all that different than ours. If you are interested in this study, Janelle needs your $16 for the book by August 29th, and she will then purchase the books for the group. Please call or text Janelle at 816-668-2435 to sign up.
BAPTISM SERVICE: On Sunday evening, August 15th, we will be having a baptism service at the Haffners’ pond. If you are interested in being baptized, please contact the church office at 380-2422 or office@cornerstonechurch.info.
PRAYER FOR OUR EDUCATION WORKERS: If you work in any way that is connected to a school setting, we would like to pray for you as you are starting this new school year. This includes public, Christian, and home school teachers, food preparers, school administrators and office staff, and anyone else who serves in an educational setting. We will be taking some time during the worship service on August 22nd to lift you up in prayer.
BUNCO IS BACK! Ladies, on August 20th at 7 p.m., it’s time to play Bunco! A Bunco party is a great way to get to know other women in the church, and is a perfect time for inviting friends. To get us started back up after our summer break, we will be meeting here at the church instead of at Juanita Blackwell’s home. Please bring $2, a 2-liter of pop (some diet, please) or a healthy snack, and if you would like, an inexpensive prize. It would help Juanita if you would R.S.V.P by Wednesday, August 18th at 779-4299 or blackwellj@harrisonvile.k12.mo.us, but latecomers are always welcome. Bring a friend!

BREAKFAST IS SERVED! To kick off our fall Sunday school quarter, some of the excellent chefs from our body will treat us to breakfast during the Bible class hour on Sunday, September 5th, and there will be information available at that time about the new classes and small groups that will be starting up this fall.
GOSPEL CONCERT: On Saturday, August 21st, at the Harrisonville Community Church, there will be a southern gospel concert featuring The Bradford Trio, whose members are three young women from Harrisonville: Mendell Bradford, Jennifer Bradford, and Davette Bradford Dean. They have performed at many song festivals, concerts, and events, and numerous times at Silver Dollar City.
